Brooke Burke, the 51-year-old fitness enthusiast and former "Dancing with the Stars" host, has launched a 21-day summer challenge designed to empower individuals to reach their health and wellness aspirations. This comprehensive program encompasses 15 workout videos, live Zoom sessions, accountability tools, and nutritious recipes crafted by Chef Giovanna Mosconi.

Burke emphasizes the importance of establishing lasting habits through consistent effort and community support. The 21-day timeframe aims to solidify these habits, incorporating meditation for daily motivation and clarity. Burke considers this program her most effective creation yet.

Burke's commitment to wellness stems from her personal health journey. Diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2012, she has since been cancer-free. She also manages Hashimoto’s disease, vitiligo, and inflammatory bowel disease, emphasizing the importance of regular checkups and understanding her body's signals. Burke advocates for a holistic approach to wellness, connecting mind, body, and spirit, prioritizing health benefits over mere aesthetics.

In 2017, Burke launched the "Brooke Burke Body" fitness app to make exercise accessible for busy individuals, particularly mothers. She believes it's never too late to prioritize health, suggesting simple home workouts with basic equipment like a yoga mat, weights, and an inspiring playlist. Free online resources abound, making fitness readily available. Burke advises starting with short 20-minute workouts and gradually increasing the duration.

Live workout sessions via platforms like Zoom provide accountability and motivation. Burke incorporates "sweat yoga" for flexibility and cardio, using readily available household items in place of expensive gym equipment. She values the global community formed through these sessions, fostering connection and support.

Burke now practices intermittent fasting (16:8 method), beginning her day with coffee, water, and a post-workout smoothie or "junk salad"—a creative mix of leftovers and fresh produce. She meal preps to ensure easy access to healthy options. Snacks include nuts and Magic Mind, an energy-boosting drink. Dinner, eaten before 8 p.m., typically consists of grilled fish, roasted vegetables, and a salad.

Burke's fitness routine has evolved to become more efficient, focusing on compound movements and incorporating weights into yoga flows. This allows for shorter, more effective workouts. She avoids sugary drinks, opting for homemade sun tea with green tea, mint, and lemon.

Burke believes intermittent fasting allows her body to rest and recover. She emphasizes the importance of healthy fats for satiety. She aims to inspire others to prioritize their health and achieve their wellness goals through discipline and self-compassion.
